A publisher of academic testing software is interested in whether the system that generates the questions and answers does so in a way that ensures that the distribution of correct answers is uniform across all answer choices. If some answer choices are more likely to be chosen than others, unethical test preparation companies could use the uneven distribution of answers to give their clients an unfair "edge."
The test has 5 answer choices per question (A, B, C, D, or E). Let p1 be the proportion of correct answer choices that are A's, p2 be the proportion of answer choices that are B's, and so on. The publisher wishes to conduct a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test.
The distribution of answer choices from a random sample of questions from the software's "test bank" is shown below. Calculate the value of the test statistic to two decimal places.
| Answer Choice | # of Times Correct |
| A | 50 |
| B | 15 |
| C | 50 |
| D | 52 |
| E | 51 |

1. A hypothetical investigation on rider satisfaction with a particular public transit system serving commuting residents of British California (BC) and Prince Edward’s County (PEC) offers some interesting findings. The proportion of commuters from BC that indicated low satisfaction with the transit system’s service in the 2018 calendar year was 65 percent, and the proportion from PEC was 70 percent. These point estimates were based on samples of 5,380 BC commuters and 6,810 PEC commuters, whose system-using commuters number in...
